Havwoods is introducing six new hero colors to its Colossal Collection. Available in a palette ranging from blonde to cocoa to suit various aesthetic preferences, the expansion includes Blanco, Fendi, Arena, Cedro, Quadro, and Amazon.
Crafted from European Oak, Colossal brings a whole new dimension to interior spaces. Measuring up to five meters long (nearly 16.5 feet) and 400mm wide, these super-wide and super-long planks are cut from slices of the largest trees to provide a majestic flooring option that naturally elongates spaces and delivers dramatic interiors. As part of the prestigious Handgrade Premier line, Colossal is ideal for commercial projects and grand residences seeking distinctive flooring that reflects the exclusivity and craftsmanship inherent in each board.
“Our Colossal collection is a prime example of Havwoods’ continued commitment to design-led innovation and our passion for bringing the magnificence of nature into the heart of aspirational interiors,” says Anthony Scott, global product and innovation director for Havwoods. “Combining our bestselling ‘Hero’ colors with the naturally dramatic style of these expansive Colossal planks is a perfect match. We’ve already seen the range specified for some exceptional projects around the world, and we’re excited to see how the new ‘Hero’ colors will feature in future prestigious interiors.”
Installed with no header joints, each enormous piece of Colossal can run perpendicular along the full length of a room. Every plank is totally bespoke and available in variable widths that bring extra visual interest into an interior. Each board undergoes a meticulous hand-finishing process over several days, including a unique pressing process for maximum durability. The mill, dedicated to pushing boundaries, has developed innovative solutions to overcome obstacles, such as custom-built kilns for drying the Colossal logs.
The Colossal Collection is all made from premium and sustainably sourced FSC® Certified European oak (FSC-C009500) and is perfectly suited for projects that demand exceptional quality and attention to detail. With a lead time of eight to 12 weeks, depending on specifications, the stunning large-format plank style of the Colossal collection is also fully compatible with underfloor heating systems.
